Longitudinal Analysis of Persistent Postconcussion Symptoms, Probable TBI, and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration Among Veterans

Conclusion: When considered alongside common risk factors for IPV perpetration, PPCS was uniquely associated with the likelihood of IPV perpetration in this veteran sample. Given post-9/11 veterans' elevated risk for head injury, findings emphasize the distinctive value of PPCSs in understanding risk for IPV perpetration. We recommend increased assessment for PPCSs in clinical practice among veterans enrolled in VA care and highlight several important areas for future research and intervention development.
